Abstract

Indoor air quality is a rising issue these days. People are becoming are of the importance of indoor air quality. This paper further advances the technology for indoor air quality surveillance by adding an index feature to it. The index feature, accompanied with real-time monitoring system is very useful in giving the real-time alert to the users on the conditions of the current indoor air quality. This index is very handy because human being's ability to detect the changes in the air quality is limited while the changes in the air quality may be rapid. The index helps the users to recognize the conditions of the air instantly by giving four signals, good, normal, unhealthy and hazardous. The index is developed based on the index used in the outside environment but by emphasizing on the internal air quality elements.
